2017 Scientists are getting more alarmed about unexpected events

2017 The ice core data is key because it tracks the development of humans

2017 We can no longer exclude destabilizing the earth system

2017 We need a "carbon law" like Moore's law - to reduce emissions by 50% per decade

2017 We're seeing some indication of the shift towards avoiding global risks, and seizing opportunities
